- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform() and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to show how they can be used. 2008-05-13 05:43:24 +08:00			`Public functions in libcurl: 58`

David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this. 2003-10-29 17:53:21 +08:00
Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer. 2006-08-09 06:56:46 +08:00			`This release includes the following changes:`

Link curl and the test apps with -lrt explicitly when necessary When curl calls a function from that library then it needs to explicitly link to the library instead of piggybacking on libcurl's own dependency. Without this, GNU ld with the --no-add-needed flag fails when linking (which Fedora now does by default).
